stereo integrity subs

Sounds to me like you guys are missing the point of the new mags... They are geared 100% towards sound quality. Getting every bit of power out of your amplifiers to these subs will not be needed, and they probably won't like the extra power depending on the application.
They are also recommended for sealed applications only.

Exactly why I will be putting the pair into a 2cube or slightly smaller enclosure. 1 cube sealed is the recommended volume even before displacement. A mag has been used in down to 0.5 ft^3 with some polyfill and still functioned properly. I never said I am run the 1500D at 0.5ohm to ditch the subs, I am more than sure I will be happy running it at 2ohm and giving each 400w. Nick said the mags sound great with even as low as 200w I believe so I am not worried about power, just figured if it is doable I will try and see how much I can get to them without maxing them. I have yet to run a ported box or anything bigger than a 12, much of the reason I was happy to see these new mags, geared right up my ally //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Should go well with my SR6500 components too which from what I understand are geared towards SQ and not for getting loud. I don't think if I give them 800w each that they will be falling apart, its still under their 1000w RMS rating. I just like to know my options.

I'm still looking forward to pre-ordering these subs even if I am missing the point of them lol. Its either these or a JBL WGTi, Icon, IDQ or Polk SR subs all going sealed and preferably the smaller the enclosure the better. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

EDIT: Whoa dang just noticed you are in Worcester. Ello neighbor lol, I live about an hour away but work just over in Framingham.

Who is that in the photo?

Either way...do some push-ups or something

PS, I hate you for having that sub If I could just get two right now, I wouldn't have to build a box, then remove the front when the BM's come out.

So if I'm looking for a good sounding 12'' that gets loud sealed, is the Mag not for me? I have 1000 watts on tap @1.5-4ohms. It's either between this, Q, RL-P, or Icon. I know I've seen this question asked plenty of times and I've seen mixed answers. But this statement ^ is kind of throwing me off. From what I've read I thought the Mag would be perfect for me until this.

Edit: and I know the Mag will sound AMAZING...not good.

I believe Nick got the Mag doing 136ish at like 44Hz in a .65 cube box, so still not bad numbers.

Just noting that the new mags are not going to be the power sponges that the v4's were.

Yea, the new Mags will only take 1000 Watts where the old ones could take 1500 daily and 2000+ for burps.

I for one can't wait for either subs to come in............well, I can wait, but don't want too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

x2 these things gonna be sweet, nice to see more sound quality oriented gear being produced. I'm honestly thinking there might be some sweet deals on here shortly after they are released. With all the hype I am thinking a lot of people will buy them solely to try them out and then turn around and sell them shortly after, not because they fail to live up to the hype but for other reasons of course.

I agree there will be some for sale on here shortly after they are released. But I think they will be able to sell them for the exact same amount they paid, only because they are going to be sold out right away and who knows when the next shipment will be ready. Supply and demand.
